Congratulations to Nyghtewynd, who clinched victory in the 7th annual Living Room Times Bowl Pick ’em Contest when West Virginia routed Clemson 70-33 tonight in the Orange Bowl.
More details to come tomorrow.
UPDATE: I never did post those details “tomorrow” as promised, but bottom line, Nyghtewynd clinched the pool because West Virginia won. As I explained here: “Ultimately, Nyghtewynd wins the contest if either WVU or LSU wins. If, on the other hand, both Clemson and Alabama win, then Nyghtewynd cannot win.” Of course, Alabama beat LSU, so as it turns out, the WVU-Clemson game was decisive. Dan Dinunzio would have won the pool if Clemson had beaten WVU (and all the other games had turned out the same).
